Is your block ready?
Let’s work together to get there.
Host a free Aware and Prepared Skillshare in your community and get earthquake-ready together.
We’ve gathered a wealth of information and tangible resources that will help guide your next steps for taking your preparedness further.
As a host - you provide the space and do the outreach for your group. We’ll take it from there.
Each 3-hour Skillshare includes a NET presentation and a facilitated group discussion. The first ten participants to sign up (including the host) will receive a ready bag and take-home curriculum. Potluck encouraged!
Skillshares launch in April and are free for residents of North and NW Portland and Linnton, thanks to support from the Thriving Communities program.
Contact info@resolvenw.com for more info, or sign up to become a host below.
No experience necessary.
As a Host, you provide the location, reach out to your neighbors and friends, and coordinate a potluck.
We will set you up for success by providing you with ready-made flyers, a guide to hosting, and a signed copy of The Pacific Northwest Disaster Guide by Henry Latourette Miller.
The first 10 people to sign up (including the host) receive a free ready-bag and a printed copy of the Aware and Prepared Curriculum!
